We are going to Animal Kingdom on 11/29/17. There is no more Fast Passes available for any of the Avatar rides. Is there any other way of getting Fast Passes for these? We are only there for one day and I would hate to waste half of it waiting in line.”

Pandora - The World of Avatar is spectacular! If you are unable to get a FastPass+ for Avatar Flight of Passage or the Na'vi River Journey, you are not alone. I'd recommend that you keep trying. If you don't get one before, get up early on the day you plan to visit and start checking. Keep checking even once you reach Animal Kingdom if not successful before. Sometimes Guests cancel their FastPass+ selections at the last minute and that will free up some for other Guests.

If you are unable to get a FastPass+, the Stand-By queue is always an option. You can check current wait times on the My Disney Experience mobile app. That is very useful information to have before getting in a queue in case you have a dining reservation, a FastPass+ return time for another attraction, or if you want to see a show that starts at a specific time. That way you will know the approximate amount of time you will be waiting for that attraction and can decide if you have time to wait or if you need to come back another time. If your schedule permits, head towards the "Stand-By" queue and get in line.

If you don't end up getting a FastPass+ for Avatar Flight of Passage or Na'vi River Journey, I'd suggest that you get to Animal Kingdom prior to park opening and be ready to go. Get in line for Avatar Flight of Passage first. That line is typically longer than the Na'vi River Journey. As soon as you get off of Avatar Flight of Passage, head to the Na'vi River Journey. There will likely be a good bit of wait time for both of these attractions but the Imagineers did a fantastic job with the Stand-By queues and that will help pass the time while you are waiting.
